Peseckendorf cemetery
The Peseckendorf cemetery is a listed cemetery in the village of Peseckendorf in Saxony-Anhalt, part of the town of Oschersleben (Bode) .
It is located on the southern outskirts of Peseckendorf, south of Kastanienallee.
The gate on the west side of the cemetery is remarkable. It is flanked by two sandstone pillars that may date from the 19th century. The sandstone comes from a quarry near Ummendorf . In 2017 the pillars were dismantled on behalf of the Peseckendorfer Heimatverein and cleaned and repaired by the Halberstadt-based company for architecture and monument preservation for € 5,000. At the same time, the vases originally enthroned on the pillars, but fallen down, were recovered. After four weeks, it was rebuilt on a new foundation. The vases were placed back on the pillars. A stylized flame or flower has been preserved on one of the vases. The cast iron gate itself had been locked since around the 1920s until renovation began in 2017. Currently (as of 2019) it is not yet back in its place.
At the east end of the cemetery is the Peseckendorf war memorial , which commemorates the Peseckendorf fallen in the First and Second World Wars and two concentration camp prisoners shot by the SS .
In the local register of monuments , the cemetery is registered as a monument under registration number 094 11893 .
